When trying to move the world – the first step will be to move your community (Plato).

On November 7, 2019, Associação Morrao started the program in the Workshop format, called “I Love My Community”: Meeting with Entrepreneurs and Businesspeople from the Morro Bento Neighborhood. With the aim of strengthening and valuing local commerce.
Supporting small producers and local traders in your neighbourhood is also a way of contributing to the growth and strengthening of the region's economy, as well as the country.
We believe that, in order to achieve Local Development, promoters must be local residents;
We believe that one of the causes for the lack of development in the Morro Bento neighbourhood community is due to the lack of appreciation and local consumption. According to research carried out by the association, residents did not know local companies, they looked for other companies in other neighbourhoods and companies hired employees who were not residents of the neighbourhood. As a solution, the Association was developing an application and an ebook, where all local companies would be present.
Local companies must promote the sustainable development of the community and the environment in which we are located, helping to improve the quality of life and not simply as an obligation. It's about giving chances and opportunities so that everyone can enjoy a better world.
Why does Angolan society have a very backward economy?
The cardinal rule is to keep your money within your community (in order to make it strong). Jews build Jewish businesses, hire Jews, and buy and spend on Jewish products. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's a basic rule that many Angolan entrepreneurs and businesspeople don't have.
Statistics show that Jewish money must change hands 18 times before leaving its community, while for many Angolan communities, it is probably a maximum of once or even zero. Only 6% of Angolan's money goes back to their community. This is why Jews are at the top and Angolans are at the bottom of every societal ladder.
This text was adapted, with the aim of drawing attention to entrepreneurs and businesspeople in the Morro Bento neighbourhood to create a business environment (purchasing, and sales at the neighbourhood level and employing our residents). With this, we create synergies and local community development (strong community).
Original text published in 1835 by a member of the British parliament, Macaulay, who had lived in Africa.
We proposed paying 50% of salaries to local businesspeople for one year, to everyone who hires a community resident.
